Huddersfield denied clear second goal, Wagner claims

David Wagner felt Huddersfield Town were denied a “clear second goal” as his side were held to a 1-1 draw against Leicester City.

After an uneventful first half, Laurent Depoitre marked his first Premier League start with a cool finish to put the Terriers ahead in the 46th minute, only for Jamie Vardy to hit back from the penalty spot shortly after.

Huddersfield had the ball in the back of the net again, but Elias Kachunga was judged to be offside when he flicked home a header from Zanka’s strike.

Replays suggest that Kachunga’s foot may have been just in front of play, though Town boss Wagner felt the linesman made the wrong call.

“I’m disappointed with a point. It was a harsh decision from the linesman because it was a clear second goal we scored,” he told BBC Sport.

“It was a great team effort and a good performance. It was high intense football against a top-quality side.

“I am massively disappointed we had this wrong decision that was an important one. From my point of view it is clear he is onside.”
